I’m being put in jail next Friday night!
I will have to change my clothes, eat prison gruel and exercise in the yard.
Then I have to raise my bail to get out… so far I have raised $551.81 with just a week to go – gulp!

Let’s break the chains of loneliness for young people! ⛓💜💪
More information about this great cause is below…..
It costs a whopping $1579 a day to keep a young person in Australian youth detention. 😲 But with just $3600 a year, you can provide a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters! 🌟
Our brave ‘Inmates’ are about to have an unforgettable experience. Upon arrival, they’ll be stripped of their possessions, donned in prison uniforms, fingerprinted, photographed, and treated to a gourmet meal of... prison gruel in the exercise yard. 🍽️😅
We’ve got guest speakers sharing firsthand accounts of life in prison for young people and insights from organisations dedicated to reducing youth incarceration. Our ‘Inmates’ will get a real taste of gaol life!
But here's the twist: they can’t break free until they raise their bail! 😱 Want to help set them free? Donate today and be their hero! 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

I am trying to raise funds by agreeing to go to jail…. And I need to raise my bail to get out.
My goal is $1,000.
Please help me make a difference in the lives of young people by donating to my bail fund here: https://shoutforgood.com/fundraisers/breakthechain/profiles/david-turrell
This is a unique experience to help fundraise for Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Did you know it costs around $1500 a day to keep a young person in Australian youth detention? In stark contrast, it only costs $3600 a year to provide a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters. To support this cause, I'm getting locked up, and I need your help to raise my bail! All funds will go towards helping young people find life-changing connections and build a brighter future.
Here's How It Works:
I'm committed to raising at least $1000 bail for my release.
Experience Jail Life:
Upon arrival, I will be stripped of my possessions, given a prison uniform, fingerprinted, photographed, and fed prison gruel in the exercise yard.
This unique experience will help bring attention to the urgent need for mentorship programs, highlighting the stark contrast between the high costs of detention and the relatively low costs of preventive mentoring.
Event Details:
Date: 9 August 2024
Time: 18:00 - 22:00
Location: Adelaide Gaol, 18 Gaol Road, Thebarton SA
Please help me make a difference in the lives of young people by donating to my bail fund here: https://shoutforgood.com/fundraisers/breakthechain/profiles/david-turrell
Together, we can support Big Brothers Big Sisters and help more young people find the guidance they need.
Donate now and help free me from Adelaide Gaol!
Bless you!

Just an amazing guitar arrangement, I had to share!

My humble solo rendition of these two iconic Queen songs. I've tried my best to capture the emotion of Freddie Mercury's vocal and piano performance as well ...
